Root Help asap! Revolutionary crashed while downloading recovery

Thanks so what should I choose in the bootloader? "Reboot", "Rebootbootloader", or power down?

choose reboot,or power down.

dont panic... if revolutionary doesnt install clockwork the second time,you can easily do it manually(might be better off doing it that way anyway)

download your recovery of choice,rename PG05IMG,place on the root of your sd card,then boot into hboot via power/volume down. hboot will install it for you... this is one of the perks of "s-off" :D

download a recovery from here: http://androidforums.com/thunderbol...0-radios-recoveries-hboot-updated-9-24-a.html

Okay so now I am officially rooted but I'm not sure I downloaded recovery, (I did it in revolutionary again, hit y, and said successful, but then closed. How can I be sure? And how do I know if I have clockwork? It's not in my app drawer

clockwork is your recovery. you can get to it from hboot,from apps like quickboot or rom manager,or from the power off menu of most custom roms.

you will need to boot to recovery via one of those methods,and flash the superuser zip in order to be rooted. there is a link on revolutionarys wiki and at the bottom of the root/unroot sticky at the top of the forum :)
